It is situated in the lap of the river, surrounded by lush green trees. It has a western touch and offers live performances frequently during season time.

Split in two parts, a part of it is housed by the riverside with an open bar serving exotic cocktails. The indoors is cosy with warm lighting, wooden furniture and big windows. The place was totally Instagram worthy,

café also serves Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai cuisines. The beer and wine lists are decent and the café also serves plenty of traditional vegetarian dishes.

2.) Cafe 1947 :

Why it is best café, because new location is outside Manali and more closer to Nature, split it in two parts, one is down side in the lap of river with a beautiful view, the other is European urban style on upper floor, both has its stunning experience. Being the only cafe that stays open throughout the year, it is definitely worth a visit if you’re a lover of the music and the food. Very good place for evening hangout and for dinner with drinks.

3.) il Forno :

Some like it quiet, and il Forno is for those few!

Being one of a handful structures that survived the ravages of the Kangra Earthquake of 1905, the Cottage enjoys considerable architectural significance.Wood-fired oven Pizzas & Calzones are our House Speciality, along with other traditional Italian dishes. Majority of the greens come from our own kitchen garden, while the rest are locally sourced.

The best part is that it is not the most famous café in Manali, which makes it a peaceful and perfect hangout spot for people looking to enjoy good food and beauty of nature.

6.) Fat Plate Cafe :

The location and ambience was so attractive that I couldn’t resist this place and the name also ‘Fat Plate Cafe’.This little restaurant was full of plants and flowers and I got lost amongst them. A rich experience of Indian, Italian and Continental dining in Manali is right here. The menu has so much to order here, which you would like to try over and over again. If you’re looking for a refreshing experience, make sure you don’t miss out this place! Specialy Pasta lovers must visit this cafe.
